Introduction
By default, Net-SNMP clients and servers only understand a set of default MIBs.
Many agents/devices implement a variety of these default vendor-neutral MIBs (IF-MIB, etc.) as part of a compatibility package, but if you wish to communicate with vendor-customized MIB trees on a device, you must load the MIBs for that device from the vendor
Commonly Requested MIBs
- Cisco Systems
- APC (American Power Conversions PowerNet)
Installing Custom MIBs
- Identify the MIBs for your platform/product
- Install them into your $MIBDIR
- Adjust your $MIB variable and restart the snmptrapd(8) binary
